How to catch a fish
Catching a fish isn't always the easiest or quickest things to do. It takes understanding how fish depth, activity level, fish location are affected by different variables such as weather. I'm going to assume that if you are inquiring about how to catch a fish you have already gone through the initial steps of how to fish. To fish you need a fishing rod, tackle and bait. To catch a fish, you need to utilize a method, technique and appropriate bait based on the type of fish species you are trying to catch as they are influenced by Mother Nature and other variables.
Method
When you are exploring how to catch a fish the first thing you need to decide on is what type of fish you are targeting, such as channel catfish, trout or bass. Once you know what you are going after, then you can figure out how the current weather condition is affecting fish behavior and feeding pattern. Climate elements such as barometric pressure and whether it is rising, dropping or stable and whether it is low, normal or high should help you decide at what depth fish are at and their energy level. Once you have determined the depth you plan on fishing at, you can decide to use a top water fish finder rig, bottom fish finder rig or a type of weighted lure.
Technique
The type of technique you deploy should be based on the type of method you decided to use. There are many different types of top water fish finders, bottom water fish finders and each can be fished differently based on the decisions you made when selecting those rigs. Top water fish finders include floats and sinker configurations that are intended to get and keep your hook and bait at a certain feeding zone. The same applies for bottom water fish finders which typically consist of floating your bait off the bottom as the sinker is your main tackle component. In deep waters, the bottom water fish finder allows you to fish the lower half of the water column. These types of rigs can be bounced along the lake or river floor to entice a strike. There are two techniques to choose from, static fishing or luring. Static fishing is simply letting your line float in the water and waiting for a strike. Luring or retrieving means to reel in your bait at some speed. As with luring, your goal is to mimic an injured, dying or fast moving fish. Typically with top water fish finders, you are using live bait such as a type or worm and you are retrieving it to mimic a swim pattern which used with a combination of sinkers, can achieve depth and enticing swim effects which can quickly trigger a strike.

Bait
Based on the fish species, energy and aggressiveness, the type of bait you use is critical to triggering that strike. So when learning how to catch a fish, be aware of the variety of bait options there are based on the fish species you are going after. The following is a breakdown of preferred bait by fish species.
- Bluegill - worms, crickets, grasshoppers, small flies, spoons or jigs.
